What this tests

Negative path for the most common XRechnung rejection: an invoice without the buyer reference that public buyers use for routing.

The valid basic invoice with the buyer reference (BT-10, Leitweg-ID) intentionally removed.

Assertions to run

  • Validator should fail BR-DE-15 because cbc:BuyerReference (BT-10) is absent.
  • The same invoice should become valid when the buyer reference, usually the Leitweg-ID, is added.
  • All other content equals the valid basic fixture, so the fixture isolates the buyer reference failure.
